I planted in the organic method the following, oleander, Mex petunias, purple fountain grass. I hope they all survived. We cut off the tips of the oleander to see if they were still alive, some shoots are & are green. Just wondering if the Mex petunia will come back. The purple fountain grass looks like straw. Will it come back?

Thanks :lol: :?

Cathleen,
Mexican petunia should come back. In fact, it can be invasive, but it's pretty easy to control. My oleander looks pretty bad but I think it will come back from the roots.

My oleander looks pretty bad, dead leaves. The stems/stalks look ok sort of grey green color, but no new growth yet. Does anyone know about the red fountain grass, mine looks like straw, no green. Is it ok do I wait a couple of weeks???????????

What about hostas, some are coming back others look like theres nothing there.
